BOS4 Pee-Wee!

and -- OMGWTF! -- BOS5 DLR, "California Girls"!

i've always felt this version represented this particular california girl better than the original. maybe it was the chicks in the video...

Those were chicks?

Seriously, I thought they were transformers!  More.Than.Meets.The.Eye

They make for a nice bookend with Elton's "I'm Still Standing," at any mileage.

they were just microchips off the old block.

i remember being particularly impressed with the midwest farmer's daughter. and the southern girl, too.
